Taiwan-Famous Niu Dian Beef Noodles Opens In Holland Village, Get Braised Beef Rice Too

Niu Dian Beef Noodles opens in Holland Village

Just three short months after their initial outlet’s opening in VIIO@Balestier, famous Taiwanese beef noodle eatery Niu Dian Beef Noodles can now be found in Holland Village. This second store opens today, 22 May 2023, and will not only serve their namesake bowl of noodles but also a series of Singapore-exclusive beef rice bowls.

In case you missed it, Niu Dian’s Balestier opening marked the brand’s first foray out of Taiwan, 18 years after they first began as a small eatery in Ximending, Taiwan. They’ve also been recognised by the Michelin guide, having earned themselves a Michelin Bib Gourmand listing for three consecutive years.

Taiwanese singer Show Luo, 罗志祥 (Luó Zhì Xiáng), is Niu Dian’s brand ambassador too, and he even flew to Singapore in February when they opened their Balestier joint!

For those of you who haven’t been here, go for Niu Dian’s signature Combination Specialty Beef Noodles ($19.90++). Have this with your choice of a clear Original, or Braised broth.

Try the Original broth, which is said to be simmered for 24 hours with beef bones and short ribs—more than 100kg of these only produce enough soup for 250 bowls! You can even customise the level of richness of this soup, choose to have no spring onions added, and decide how hard the noodles are.

This bowl comes with boneless rib cut, tendons, tripe, and golden coin.

Otherwise, check out Trio Specialty Beef Noodles ($18.90++), which comes without beef tripe.

If you’re opting for the Braised soup base, it’s a lightly spicy 红烧 (hóng shāo), beef-based broth.

You can up the spice quotient with their house-made chilli oil that’s fried with beef marrow oil and Sichuan peppers.

Besides the noodle dishes, you’ll be able to choose from three Singapore-exclusive beef rice bowls: Combination Specialty Beef Pearl Rice Bowl ($19.90++), Trio Specialty Beef Pearl Rice Bowl ($19.90++), and Shredded Beef Pearl Rice Bowl ($15.90++), which are also sold at the Balestier store.

They feature the same braised beef as in the noodles and come in spicy, or non-spicy versions. The cherry on top of these rice bowls is the addition of silken scrambled eggs, drizzled with house-made pepper sauce.
